What people say about us
Absolutely fantastic experience at Mario’s Italian Ristorante in Charleston! We ordered the pizza, pasta Bolognese, and an arugula salad, and every dish was phenomenal. Highly recommend this gem for anyone craving top-notch Italian cuisine. Five stars all the way!
This place was the best restaurant I had eaten in Charleston! Highly recommend this place for the most amazing pasta, delicious wood fired pizza, and they truly live up to the name: best expresso martini!
We saw this said “Family owned” so us 5 girls from Iowa had to stop & try. FABULOUS food!!! Very fast service! Extremely friendly owner/staff. We had Alfredo, lasagna, & bolognese spaghetti. My friend said it was also the best margarita she’d had in years. Very small place but your food comes fast n is phenomenal!
